Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed

This is one of the most emotional documentaries I've seen in a long while, telling a side of Bob's story that I never knew. Not only is the drama of Bov's life told beautifully but it is accompanied by gorgeous shots of landscapes in reference to the subject of many of his paintings. This alongside truly magnificent dramatical painting used to illustrate parts of the story that were not visually documented creates a truly engaging experience of truth. My eyes have seen a new vision of Bob Ross Inc. That will surely shape how I spend my money in the future, but also a new appreciation of Ross and his work.

Sometimes, there are documentaries that just get about everything right. The research on this one is so well done and the situations that are talked about in the documentary are happening as we watch it, so much that you can't deny there is something fishy going on. I loved watching the 'Joy of Painting with Bob Ross'-shows as much as anyone else, but I never fully understood the current operations by 'Bob Ross Inc', and all the irrelevant or subpar 'crap' they are selling nowadays with the Bob Ross-name slapped on it. Watch this documentary and find out how one couple called the Kowalski's succeeded in actually robbing a man's name while on his deathbed. It's sad, really. They did Steve dirty.

A great documentary that brings to light the evil that stood behind the camera in that Bob Ross studio.

I really feel for Bob and his son Steve, the greed of man really meets no end; there are slimey little money grabbers everywhere you look, even in the proverbial sanctuary where Bob created many of his beautiful works of art.

Bob Ross Inc needs to be boycotted with immediate effect, this has been going on for far too long, it's just a shame the world didn't know sooner.

This is a classic study of how awful human greed can get. To betray, take advantage and twist the good naturedness of one man and turn it into pure corporate avarice is beyond reproach. The Kowalskis have turned Bobs legacy into such a sad and disturbing reflection of the worst of human nature.

This documentary will make you smile, cry, MAD and even love Bob Ross more than you already did. It was especially painful to watch the injustice that has been done to Bob Ross and his son Steve Ross by Walt and Annette Kowalski. It will infuriate you when you know the details. I really hope justice will take place and they will be punished!

(And the 2 negative reviews are obviously from evil team Kowalski).
